Searching and Matching a part of a string in a CSV file using Python

This is a part of a large csv file which I have:

"66.35.223.128","66.35.223.143","1109647232","1109647247","AU","Australia"
"66.35.223.144","66.35.227.191","1109647248","开发者_运维百科1109648319","US","United States"
"66.35.227.192","66.35.227.207","1109648320","1109648335","JP","Japan"
"66.35.227.208","66.35.230.31","1109648336","1109648927","US","United States"
"66.35.230.32","66.35.230.47","1109648928","1109648943","AU","Australia"
"66.35.230.48","66.35.236.207","1109648944","1109650639","US","United States"
"66.35.236.208","66.35.236.223","1109650640","1109650655","AU","Australia"
"66.35.236.224","66.36.127.255","1109650656","1109688319","US","United States"

The first two columns are a range of IP addresses. I have an IP address 66.35.250.168 I need to search the csv file to see in which range it lies, and print out the corresponding country name.

Since the first two numbers (66,35) are the same, I intend to search for the line containing this. I can search a complete string(66.35.205.88) by doing this:

import csv
with open('GeoIPCountryWhois.csv', mode='r') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    for row in reader:
        if row[0] in ['66.35.205.88']:
            print row

If I search for 66.35, I don't get any result . Can you please tell me a way in which I can search for a part of the string ('66.35' here) ? Also, can you tell me how I can find the exact line number in which I find the string?

Thanks in advance.

import csv
with open('GeoIPCountryWhois.csv', mode='r') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    for num, row in enumerate(reader):
        if '66.35' in row[0]:
            print num, row

Keep in mind this can give you false positives if '66.35' appears at other locations in the address or elsewhere in the line.

Edit: Here is a version that can actually check if it's in the right range.

def numeric_ip(ip):
    return [int(x) for x in ip.split('.')]

desired_ip = numeric_ip('66.35.205.88')
with open('GeoIPCountryWhois.csv', mode='r') as f:
    for num, row in enumerate(csv.reader(f)):
        if numeric_ip(row[0]) <= desired_ip <= numeric_ip(row[1]):
            print num, row

There is no reason in shouldn't work.

Make sure you switch the order

if '66.35' in row[0]:
    print row

You can use standard boolean tests with strings to check if the ip you're looking for is in the range:

import csv

desired_ip = "66.35.232.56"
desired_ip_n = [str(n) for n in desired_ip.split(".")
with open('GeoIPCountryWhois.csv', mode='r') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    row_num = 1
    for row in reader:
        ip_start_n = [str(n) for n in row[0].split(".")]
        ip_end_n = [str(n) for n in row[1].split(".")]
        if desired_ip_n >= ip_start_n and desired_ip <= ip_end_n:
            print row
            print row_num
        row_num += 1
